Michael Friedman - The Next Forever lyrics

Since I left you I feel like I’ve lost all perspective, Like nothing is real And I feel like the last living man All alone in a boat With no hope and no plan And you're right that I’m not optimistic I guess when like me You just look at statistics But it's crazy the way people say I live each moment like it my last I don't think past today For the next fifty years For the next hundred years For the next forever The next forever Without us The world will still go The bactеria will thrive And the grass will still grow And the trash will float by And thе sun will still rise And new plants will learn how to photosynthesize But I don't want to be the last one With my little blue recycling box when its done And statistics can just leave you numb And statistics are deaf, and statistic are dumb But like widows we wait for the ships that won't come And you were my contingency The straight chance that changed just who I hoped I could be For the next fifty years For the next hundred years For the next forever The next forever I'm a little boat floating alone in the sea As a great ship goes by, never noticing me But I'll just keep looking For what I can see Trying to look for each contingency For the fifty years For the next million years
